CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
OLIVIA
WE DECIDED to go to one of the upscale restaurants near the university to dine. While we were finishing our steak, I became uneasy when I noticed Chase looking at me intently for quite some time.
How do I put it into words? His stares made the butterflies inside my stomach feel giddy. Despite the fact that it had been a long time since we got married, started living under the same roof, and sleeping in the same bed, I still could not believe that I was worthy of Chase Maxwell’s full attention.
I was not trying to be dramatic at this moment, but these kinds of feelings were actually hindering me from thinking clearly. It was as if my mind were clouded with deeper emotions I could not even name at this point.
He offered me a sweet smile when he caught me taking a glimpse of him.
“What?” I asked, somehow defending myself after getting caught.
“Hmm, I am trying to guess what is on your mind, baby.”
One of my eyebrows lifted. “What is your guess?”
“Have you been thinking about desserts?” he inquired in his deep yet curious tone.
I composed myself as I took a deep breath. So he thought that I was craving sweets, which was why I kept looking at him, huh? I gave him a sweet smile before I shook my head.
“I am aware of that look. I know you are just looking for sweets,” he said, and then asked the waiter for a dessert menu.
One of the waiters went to our table right away, and as I glanced up at him, I was taken aback by how attractive he was. In fact, every single waiter and waitress in this restaurant was undeniably attractive. So, apart from the place being decorated in an attractive way- it had a black and gold scheme, which gave customers an idea that they did have excellent taste-their employees added up to making this place more compelling.
Chase cleared his throat, and I came back to my senses as he got my attention. He then snatched the menu from the waiter and offered him a little bit of a glare before he looked at me.
“Do you want anything specific?”
“Anything would do,” I replied, acting excited despite the fact that I had no sweet tooth at all. Perhaps Reese Jones used to nag him about craving sweets, and here I was, pretending that I liked it because, in Chase’s pair of ocean blue eyes, I was none other than Reese.
Chase’s eyes darted across the menu, selecting a dessert for me, and when he was done the waiter took his order.
“Thank you,” I said.
He leaned his back against his seat and gazed at me as if he was truly amazed by me.
“Congratulations, you have finally been admitted to the most top notch international business university. I am proud of you, wife.”
“Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to be admitted, Chase.” I let out a huge sigh of relief. “I still cannot believe what happened. I got accepted despite not having the complete requirements… I thought everything would fall apart… not until you came to save my ass!” A giggle escaped from my throat.
His oceanic blue eyes sparkled in joy. A knowing smile crossed his lips, giving me such a feeling that he was also happy about the outcome of what he had done earlier.
“I truly am happy for you, Reese. I am proud that you have taken the very first bold move to get to know everything about business, even though you didn’t really have to-”
“Oh, please, Chase. I really want this,” I said, assuring him that this decision was really for myself.
“Alright, wife. Please know that this new phase you want to walk into will be hard, but I want you to keep in mind that you can always rely on your husband,” he stated sincerely, and that made me smile more.
His genuine words did not fail to make me feel as if I was the most blessed woman in the entire universe. My heart was filled with inspiration and a burst of energy that would keep me going… all because he believed in me and supported me.
“Don’t worry, I know I can handle it.” I winked at him.
He chuckled a bit. “Well, just in case things become a little bit heavy for you, I am here, Reese. I want to help you, I hope you understand.”
I nodded in response. “I really wouldn’t be making this kind of decision if it were not for your father’s inspiring words. It feels very rewarding to me to have the opportunity to pursue my dreams and to have a husband that will support me all the way. Rest assured that once I am capable enough, I will use my knowledge to help you as well,” I answered graciously.
“I like that idea, and I can’t wait for it to happen.”
We both chuckled, feeling optimistic about the new phase in my life. The waiter then walked toward our table and served our order.
“It is our specialty here, the strawberry cheesecake. I hope you enjoy it,” said the handsome waiter before he walked away.
My eyes landed on the dessert that was served, and I was amazed as it looked very delicious. Chase was about to taste it, but I stopped his hand right away.
“Can I take a picture of it first?” I asked hesitantly.
“Sure thing, baby.” He pursed his lips, trying to suppress a smile. He may be thinking that I was childish or whatnot, but I wanted to take a picture of the dessert. I’ll post it on my social media later!
I took my phone out and started taking a picture of the strawberry cheesecake, and then, once satisfied, I showed it to Chase. I also asked him to pose, and then I took a picture of him too.
Handsome!
He said, “Let me help you with your first bite.” Then grabbed the small spoon and scooped it onto the cake. “Reese, baby, open your mouth.”
What the? He wanted to feed me himself!
I gave him a wide-eyed look and then looked to my left and right.
“Is it necessary? We’re not teenagers anymore, Chase!” I said, and he only chuckled.
“My arm is already aching. Come on, baby,” he urged, and I just rolled my eyes at his persistence.
I leaned forward and slowly opened my mouth. He put the spoon full of cake on me, and I was astounded at how delicious it was.
“How was it?” he asked.
I replied, “It tastes incredible. I’m in tears.”
He just laughed at my reaction.
“I swear to you, I’ve never had this kind of cake before!” I added with glee. “This restaurant has become my favorite.”
“The owner of this restaurant will be one of your classmates.”
What he stated took me completely by surprise. “Oh my gosh, is that for real?”
He nodded and tried a spoonful of the cake too.
“Will someone who owns an elegant restaurant like this be my classmate? Didn’t that person realize how successful this business is?” My eyes roamed around the perfection of this place. Well, for me, this was already a successful business!
“There’s really no limit to learning new things, Reese. Even a company CEO studies at Steinfield’s University.”
“What?” That made me even more shocked.
He offered me a grin and finished the cake. I sighed out loud. I did not want to feel any pressure, but I could not help but feel so. I should never act stupid in front of my classmates, who were practically business owners. If I made a mistake, I might have tainted Chase’s family name.
“Hey, I know that expression…” His hand reached mine that was resting on the table. “You got this, alright? Do not overthink it. No pressure, and just do what makes you happy. Eventually, you will realize that you have already made it.”
I pushed all my negative emotions down as I did not want Chase to worry. In fact, I had no one to impress except myself. Chase was right. I would only have to do what would make me happy, and that was to become better by studying business management thoroughly.
“I swore to do everything I could to make you proud,” I told him, but it was more like a promise to myself. I would put everything I had into this decision to make it work, and I would never make him worry.
“I am already proud of you, Reese. There’s no doubt about that…”
As we finished our lunch, we finally stood up and were about to leave. I could not help but take a peek around with the rest of the personnel at this place. I promised myself that I would bring Lara here next time. I bet she would drool over the good-looking waiters here. I giggled at that thought.
I then took my phone out of my pocket and opened the notes, then started typing.
“What are you doing?” Chase curiously asked when we went out of the restaurant.
“I am just taking notes. It might be beneficial for me to list the pros and cons of having a restaurant as a business.”
I stopped for a moment to finish typing all the things I’d observed while we were inside. After that, I put my phone back inside my pocket and looked at Chase. He was grinning as he stared at me, then held my hand and squeezed it, which I appreciated.
“Are you interested in opening a restaurant someday?” he inquired.
My forehead creased, and it was followed by a smile on my lips. I shrugged and answered, “I don’t know yet. But something about providing services to make customers happy somehow made me interested. We’ll never know!”
“Yeah, it’s too early to decide which business you would like to start. We can skip that part for now until you are fully ready.”
I nodded, agreeing with what he said because he was right. I would take this slow.
***
WE WERE already on our way home when I received an email indicating the schedule of my major subjects next week. I let out a shriek because of my utmost joy, which made Chase startled.
“Oh my gosh!” I exclaimed and tapped his arm while he was driving.
“Reese, I’m driving. Please keep it down!” he said. His voice was a bit confused as he took a glance at me. “What the heck? Are you crying?”
“No, I’m not!” I yelled at him.
“Yes, you are!” he hissed.
I chuckled. Shaking my head, I started to touch my cheeks and realized that tears were streaming down my face.
“These are tears of joy, Chase. I received an email from the Uni and it indicates all my schedules for the subjects I must attend,” I said and I began laughing in the front seat like a crazy woman.
“I’m glad you are that happy. It’s been a long time since the last time I saw you that way, Reese…” He said, still glancing between me and the road. His lips could not suppress his grin.
“I’m just so excited. I feel like I have become a kid again.” I could feel the happiness radiating from where I was seated.
I recalled those days in the orphanage when I found out that I’d be attending classes being led by the nuns. I was beyond happy at that moment, and that was the same emotion I feel right now.
Those friends I had in the orphanage, I wondered where they were now.
“Reese, keep in mind that your lectures will be different compared to what you had in college. You will need to concentrate more on this as business subjects are really confusing. Though I must admit that you were truly an A student during your college years, I am confident that you’ll do well,” he stated, nodding like he was agreeing with his own statement.
“I am aware of it, Chase. I am nervous but I think I can manage. Don’t worry too much. I got this!”
I offered him a confident stare as my way of telling him that there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
I am Olivia, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t be able to manage. I was born to be flexible, and even my brain could do it too.
“That’s the fighting spirit, baby.”
Then we both laughed in our seats.
***
WHEN WE arrived home, I sent Lara a text message, informing her that I would start attending classes by next week. Before I turned off my phone, I read the reply she sent me:
From: Lara
Congratulations, my dear evil friend! Let’s talk more about it later, deal? We should make a plan to celebrate your admission! I am so proud of you. You’re on your way to becoming a true elite right now! Let them see what you are capable of! 😡
Her text message made me smile. I let out a loud sigh of relief and put my phone on the side table. I threw myself onto the bed. I was so exhausted today. Now, it was my time to relax a bit.
My eyes were pinned on the ceiling as I imagined so many positive things I was looking forward to happening in the next few weeks when I felt Chase massaging my foot. I let out a gasp of surprise, and then glanced at him. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, my foot resting on his lap as he massaged it gently.
“That’s so sweet of you, my baby!” I commented, and plastered a smile on my face. It felt more relaxing now that Chase was massaging me. It actually served as some sort of reward for me.
“Do you like it?” he asked.
“I love it…” I let out a moan when he started massaging my toes in a gentle way.
Chase leaned down and kissed my foot, which took me by surprise. He licked and kissed it repeatedly, and I could have sworn that surges of heat went through me as he continued doing it.
“I did not realize you had such beautiful feet,” he commented.
From my foot, his lips traveled all the way to my lower leg, continuously planting soft and warm kisses there… Then he worked his way up to my upper thighs and did the same thing. With each and every brush of his lips against my skin, I felt as if my entire body was slowly getting on fire. My breathing hitched, and I could no longer concentrate on the dreams I was imagining a while ago.
Clearly, Chase had a way of getting my full attention…
He then began unbuttoning my jeans. He was doing it while looking intently at me. I found it so slow that I had to assist him in doing so. When he pulled down my jeans, he was greeted by my simple black underwear.
He leered at me before he took a sniff of my crotch. I swallowed hard and bit my bottom lip. I watched how he started smelling it, then kissed it, while his hand began stroking my thighs. It was at this point that I let out a sigh as his lips went down, brushing against my hidden slit. As the heat engulfed me, I could feel that my sex had started to become moist.
“You are really making it so difficult for me, Reese. Your black underwear really suits you best,” he whispered under his breath.
I was under the impression that he would take my underwear off, but he did not do so. Instead, he simply tugged it to the side and licked my bulging slide in between my thighs.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re so friggin’ hot,” he uttered huskily.
I felt his tongue devouring my skin, and all I could do was whimper under my breath.
He chuckled. “Do not force it to close. I want to be able to taste you even more.”
The moment he started licking it, and swirling his tongue around my clitoris, a gasp escaped my lips. I was engulfed by an overwhelming sense of lust and it was rushing all through my veins so quickly.
The piece of cloth between his lips and my sex was so sinful that it kept me cursing in my mind. Chase continued teasing me, and all that was left for me to do was cry in desire.
“Chase, please…” I begged. I could no longer recognize my own voice.
He chuckled once more and finally removed my underwear, which was dripping wet already. I caught him sniffing it while looking me in the eyes.
“I really love your aroma,” he remarked as he continued leering at me.
It did not take long before he threw my underwear on the other side of the bed and, without hesitation, began devouring my sex like it was ice cream… he was licking it, and tasting it with his tongue, swirling in a rhythmic movement.
“Urgh, oh my gosh… Chase…” I moaned loudly. “Fuck, hmm, Chase…” I spread my legs widely for him to have better access. My eyes rolled back as I bit my bottom lip, letting his intense and heated mouth eat me wholly to my satisfaction.
My hands went to his head, gripping his soft hair. Gradually, I began jerking my hips, welcoming each attack his mouth was making against my clit.
“Ohh, good father… Chase…” I cried. “That’s it, fuck. You’re really good…” In the midst of the pain, I moaned these words as he slid something into my sex.
I cried from both pleasure and pain. As it made its way into my insides, I felt that it was similar to a long and large shaft of my husband. It was vibrating, and while it was inside of my sex, pounding me hard, he then kept aggressively licking and brushing his lips against my sex. That made me cry out of ecstasy.
“Fuck… what is this, Chase?” I asked as it was pounding me so hard and so deep that I lost count of how many times I moaned and caught my breath until it made me reach my first climax.
I screamed in pleasure, then I grabbed the duvet and gripped it tightly.
I then realized that it was Chase’s sex toy that was like a long shaft that pounded me so hard. It vibrated on my inside, making me more turned on. It matched the way his lips and tongue stroked my clitoral spot.
“You’re such a slut… Your naughty noises made my sex really hard. Now I know how fucking slutty you are. You should see yourself, baby…” he uttered, then he continued licking my slit.
“Oh, heavenly… soul… Ugh, Chase.” I was still sore, but he didn’t stop. For a brief moment, I thought I was receiving painful punishment as his tongue roughly tasted my flesh. But it didn’t take that long as another wave of sensation started to build up inside my belly and my cries were replaced by loud moans again.
“I’m cumming, Chase… Urgh, do–don’t stop… I’m at my peak…” I shouted.
My explosion was so intense that I couldn’t help but wet his face and squirt as soon as I got to my second climax.
“I love you, Reese. I so fucking love you…” he murmured.
After that, he crawled all the way up and kissed my lips…
…and I kissed him back with all of my emotions.
